I guess I can never write a
haiku, then
Hmm that's actually a smart answer, didn't expected that!
However, my point stands!
"I guess I can never write a haiku"
(Link that you gave, is the point that i'm making actually. You hear the word "haiku", you think "Japan". "Poetry" is universal, "haiku" is not)
Well, in the same sense, no one is preventing you to make a animated movie in anime-style, but when you
say "Anime" its (at least for me) implying animations that originates from japan
(its a Japanese word after all,
or Engrish..still it originates in Japan so lets call it Japanese for argument sake), and not from other countries, originally
Japanese and not, say, America.
So to answer your question:
Yes you can make poetry (if poetry is what you wanna make), no one is preventing you from that, but if you
like haiku, you can make haiku-style/inspired poetry.
Its the same thing basically, a poetry is a poetry, but its about being more understandable when talking
about it really.
So when you say "this is Anime", or "this is haiku", i immediately know it has Japanese origins, and when i hear
this is haiku-inspired poetry, or anime inspired poetry i know its NOT originating from japan.
And haiku is actually a poetry so...yes, you can make poetry, ofc! Same way that you can make Animations,
yes! I mean japanese people can also make haiku-inspired poetry also, but its about where you are from.
For us that are NOT from japan Anime is considered to originate from Japan, you wouldnt say for dexters laboratory that its anime, but you will for death note, its imediatly known its origins. Or american cartoons that are anime inspired you know they are not from japan.
and its much easier to understand the destinction for a talk among people. However, i dont think youre wrong though, but youre also not correct imo purely because of understanding and destinction sake.
Well anyway, i hope you now understand what i meant.
And i really appreciate your reply for giving me a different perspective of thinking. I like that!
As i said, very smart reply!
